Thursday - Chorizo, Roasted Pepper and Brie Tart
And lovely it was too! Apparently it looks very similar to one from a recent Jus Rol advert but it was all her own work!

Wednesday - Christmas - Bah Humbug!! and a Perfect Frittata
Well, not quite....this article arrived in Joe's inbox via the weekly email from Martins Money Tips and the content is something that we really agree with; in fact we have discussed this very thing ourselves and with Joe's mum (@mrs_ordinary) this week.
Don't get us wrong, we do love to give and receive presents, but sometimes it does feel like the whole presents thing becomes an obligation rather than a choice. We don't want anyone to feel like they have to find us something, just because that's what everyone expects! (And please don't take this as some sort of affront to presents we've received in the past - we've got some brilliant things over the years - but also some...interesting things!) As well as the whole economic hoo ha that everyone is facing, we're saving for a wedding this year, which does focus the mind, cash-wise. So we just thought we'd put this out there, and see what other people think. Answers on a postcard please!
Back to dinner...check out Jo's perfect frittata!

Tuesday Night Feast (Jo Girl)
So anytime I decide it's time for the fall back option of stir fry, Joe always manages to convince me to have some treats with it. Usually it's limited to prawn crackers (surprisingly low in calories!) but for some reason we were quite giddy on the way home and extended the treats to prawn crackers AND spring rolls. OMG.
Quite clearly I didn't make either of these treats: spring rolls are beyond me at 8pm on a Tuesday and I wouldn't even know where to start with prawn crackers. However, the stir fries were all mine - egg fried noodles and veg and super spicy prawns. Poor Joe, every week I seem to make a dish absolutely overloaded with fish sauce and chillis and tonight was no exception - most of the chillis were left uneaten. WEAK! It did taste pretty good though.
Oh...and to round off, and a very small homage to the biscuits part of our title...Foxes crinkles for dessert!
